Installation recommendations

It is important to follow the legal regulations in force, which lay down the specifications for the fitting and start-up of this space heater. We recommend you refer to an  authorized technician.
However, if you decide not to refer to a technician, the following is a list of the more important conditions required for the premises:
Site conditions
The appliance should not be used in a room the volume of which is less than 60 cbm for living rooms and 31 cbm for other rooms. For ventilation purposes an area of 100 sq  cm to accommodate free movement of air should be evenly distributed between upper and lower levels.
A safety device is fitted that in the event of inadequate ventilation being provided the appliance will shut down until the room has been properly aspirated.
We recommend that you do not use the space heater in situations of frequent use of aerosol sprays.
Connection of the space heater
The space heater can be connected to the gas cylinder by the user without resorting to a fitter/technician. In order to do so, you should have the required accessories at hand.
Required accessories (fig. 1 & 2)
In order to operate the space heater you must have:

1. Commercially available butane (13kg or 15kg) gas cylinder for model 505 ­ 118 and bottled only by official distributors, with the following measures: 55.5cm of height and  30.5cm of diameter in the base of the cylinder.
   1 Standardized pressure regulator ­According to the table at the end of the manual. See fig.2.
   1 Standardized flexible tube for gas with a length of O .5m.

2. Collar-clips with screw for the flexible tube (Fig.1 ).
   In order to identify these elements, check the type plate and contact your gas distributor.
   A flexible tube and a pressure regulator must be used for the connection of this device. Contact your gas distributor.

Working Description

Depending on the model, your space heater may be fitted with the following elements:

1. Key to start-up, light and select the power of the device.
2. Protective screen guard.
3. Blue flame burner.
4. Pilot light window.
5. Back panel.
6. Fitting lugs for back panel.
7. Gas feed coupling.
8. Wheels for transport.

Heater start-up

Once the space heater has been taken out of its packaging:
Remove the back panel from the device.
Connect the flexible tube to the gas inlet coupling of the space heater and to the regulator, ensuring a gaslight fit with the collar-clips well screwed down. Avoid twisting the  flexible tube.
Place the gas cylinder on the base of the space heater and fit the regulator to the cylinder. After opening the regulator check that there are no gas leaks by applying soapy  water with a paintbrush to the union of the flexible tube with the space heater and the regulator.
Fit the back panel using the attached fixing lugs (fig. 3).
CAUTION For their own safety, keep the package (cardboard Styrofoam plastic bags, etc.) away from your children.
Note: The replacement of the cylinder should be carried out in a non- flammable environment.
The space heater includes a safety device, which turns the device off and extinguishes the pilot flame if the ventilation in the premises is insufficient or the concentration of  CO2 exceeds the maximum stipulated by law.
It is usual for this device to operate in very small premises.
If the flame does go out, ventilate the room well and wait a few minutes before reigniting the space heater.

Ignition instructions

Attention: before using the space heater for the first time and after long periods of non-use, we recommend switching on the control buttons several times alternately and  without gas flow in order to facilitate its operation.
The space heater can be regulated to three different heat intensities MAXIMUM, MEDIUM and MINIMUM.
The ignition mechanism is piezo­ operated.
Open the gas outlet by rotating the lever on the regulator to the correct position (Fig.2).
Turning on the space heater Put the control button at position and press it for 5 to 10 seconds at the same time press the spark ignition button until you see flame on the  pilot. Release the spark ignition button and keep holding the control button for more 20 seconds then chosse the heat level you want.
Always slightly depress the control buton when rotating it.
For MINIMUM heat- Rotate the button to 8
For MEDIUM heat- Rotate the button to (For MAXIMUM heat- Rotate the button)

Cleaning the glass

The glass in this model of space heaters will require regular cleaning as the temperature variations can cause the accumulation of residues during use.
Whenever you perform this cleaning, you must DISCONNECT the device from the gas cylinder and wait for it to cool down. You must not perform this cleaning with the  heater connected to the gas cylinder even if the gas supply is closed.
Use a cloth dampened with water to perform the cleaning. NEVER use flammable products as that might cause a fire after assembly.
Do not touch the coal while you are cleaning the glass. If you notice the coal is damaged/broken, contact a trained technician. DO NOT TURN ON the device while it has  not been repaired by a trained technician.

NEVER LIFT THE DEVICE WHILE YOU ARE ASSEMBLING OR DISASSEMBLING THE GLASS. NEVER ASSEMBLE OR DISASSEMBLE THE GLASS  WITH THE HEATER IN THE VERTICAL POSITION.

1. Disconnect the regulator from the bottle;
2. Remove the bottle from the device·
3. Place the device on its side on a flat surface (fig. 5);
4. Loosen the screws that support the glass (fig. 6);
5. Carefully remove the glass from the enameled bracket (fig. 7).

After cleaning:

1. Place the glass in the enameled bracket (fig. 8);
2. Firmly tighten the screws that support the glass (fig. 9).

During assembly and cleaning, NEVER touch the ceramic.
Use water and soap to clean the glass.

Maintenance

If any anomaly is observed or spare parts are required, contact our Technical Service.
The periodical maintenance must be carried out exclusively by an authorized technician.
We would recommend that you have a service carried out every two years by an authorized technician.
Watch the pilot light, which should be stable.
Check to see if it is necessary to change the flexible gas tube. If it proves necessary, obtain a new tube and connect it as explained in “Heater start­ up’.
It is recommended that the cleaning of the device be carried out with the gas regulator closed, the heater completely cold and with nonabrasive products.
The heater must be cleaned with gloves.
When the space heater is not in use, we recommend storing it in a dust-free atmosphere, protected with a cloth or plastic cover in a dry place.

Warranty

All our space heaters have been meticulously checked before leaving the factory. Nevertheless, if any anomaly is observed remember that our extensive Technical Service network is at your disposal. You should read the section, “Before calling in Technical Service” to verify if you can remedy the anomaly yourself.

Before calling in Technical Service
The space heater doesn’t turn on Check to see if there is gas in the cylinder and that the regulator is correctly ccupled in the open position.
Check to see if the flexible tube is properly connected.
Check that the instructions have been followed correctly.
If this occurs after changing cylinders it may be due to:
There is air in the cylinder. Press the ignition button down for a longer period of time until the pilot flame and burner ignite. Then switch to the MAXIMUM position.
The bottle may have been exposed to low outside temperatures. Apply fairly hot wet cloths to the upper part of the bottle to increase gasification and the normal output of gas.
The space heater goes out If it goes out on completing the ignition instruction, repeat the operation, following the instructions carefully.
If it goes out after 30 minutes, it means that it is operating in a poorly ventilated atmosphere. Ventilate the room and reignite the space heater.
If it goes out before 30 minutes of operation, ensure that it is not exposed to air drafts or that the cylinder has not run out of gas.
